I put my life on pause and went to Michigan
Wishing then to move division into proper vision
Been fighting against lies, gave my words to the wise
Vote or someone else dies, Bush is tyranny in disguise
Helped Detroit organize, witnessed power on the rise
Knew the truth was on our side, but what I didn't realize
They kidnapped Jesus Christ, and sold him to the right
Religious swipe for the prize, false prophet materialized
If you looked into his eyes, and couldn't see his ties
To power brutalized, then your faith is compromised
November 2 will ring true as the day our nation blew
The cue to take the power back from the few
Who had us voting from a pew, distorting everything we view
About the world they guide us through, and the God we're praying to
This shit gets sicker too, next comes Patriot Act II
Abortion under review, and nothing left in public school
So guess who's back in Texas, preparing the offensive
Our buzz is tremendous, reelection won't end this
Radical coalition of artistic liberal spit
M7 Records still in this bitch, dropping relentless rebel hits
Still in the belly of the beast, providing acid reflux fits
Still militant in the whip, loading clips to spark some shit
Still hell bent to flip the script on the U.S. government
Still here to fight another day, because today just came and went
To linger as the past, that shapes the future path
Towards a leader with a staff, raised to break the ceiling glass
This shit is in our grasp, keep marching to the last battle
Reinvent this hip hop in a revolution, slash
Fast, hard hitting, ear splitting weapon of mass
Destruction, aimed directly at corruption, come on, blast
Seize your chance to have a voice and make a generation's stance
Glance outside in the streets, and see how rebel people dance
